I am the trees, Bowing, bending
I am the trees, Kiss the earth again
I am the sun, Burning, changing
I am the sun, Kiss the flame again
I am the stream, Flowing, shaping
I am the stream, Kiss the sea again
I am the song, Floating, calling
I am the song, Kiss the wind again

Wind blows, fire burns,
Water flows and the earth turns.
Wind blows, fire burns,
Water flows and the earth turns.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
That’s the sound of change,
That’s the sound of change,
Oh, that’s the sound of change.

Wind blows, lifts you up,
Lets you touch the sky.
And the fire burns your spirit black,
Forges freedom’s cry.
Water flows through your veins,
Becomes your salty tears.
And the earth she turns upon her course,
Marks your living years.

Where we live is holy, holy is the ground.
Water, wind and sunlight, holy is the Sound.
Mighty Spirit singing circles all around.
Mighty Spirit singing circles all around.

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Maker of heaven and earth.
All is full of Thy glory.
All is full of Thy glory.

We can rise with the fire of freedom,
Truth is the fire that burns our chains,
And we can stop the fire of destruction,
Healing is the fire running through our veins.

(intro)
The moment that is here right now is free-form, spiral leaping flames,
The smack, crack, deadly pop of lead becoming pure.

The moment that is here right now is intuitive rhythm and spontaneous pulse.
It is soul in hand on heart, it is Spirit throbbing true.

The moment that is here right now is trust, with pounding hearts and open eyes,
We are growing roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out.

The moment that is here right now is heartbeat, dancing, kissing union,
Embracing Yes! our highest vision -
As we celebrate all that is right here, and right now.

(chorus – 4x)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right here, right now!
(descant)
Here and now, here and now

(verses)
Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the clock ticking, I’m the baby kicking,
I am the child’s cry.

Here is the minute and now is the moment
and it is passing by -
I’m the fire burning, I’m the heart yearning,
I am the lover’s sigh.

Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by -
I’m the breath taker, I’m the life maker,
I am the open eye.

(coda)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right now, right now, right now,…
